Allowances by MP

2004/05 to the third quarter of 2009/10

In June 2009 more than a million documents and receipts were published online. These related to MPs' claims dating back to 2004/05 and up to 2007/08.

In December 2009 these pages were updated to include information about MPs' claims for costs incurred when staying away from their main home in 2008/09 and the first quarter of 2009/10.

Alphabetical list

Below is an alphabetical list of current MPs. The Allowances link, to the right of each name, takes you to a page containing edited scans of documents submitted in support of claims made against:

Additional Costs Allowance (ACA) - paid to reimburse Members for necessary costs incurred when staying overnight away from their main home in each year from 2004/05 to 2008/09.

Personal Additional Accommodation Expenditure (PAAE, which replaced the ACA in April 2009) - paid to reimburse Members for necessary costs incurred when staying overnight away from their main home. Please note that the information relates to claims made during April to June 2009.

Incidental Expenses Provision (IEP) - the costs associated with running an office in each year from 2004/05 to 2007/08.

Communications Allowance - introduced in 2007/08, which provides funds for communication with constituents.

Geographical location

A link on the left hand side of the page provides a list of the geographical location of MPs' current ACA/PAAE home - either in London or the constituency. It also indicates if the location changed during 2008/09 or 2009/10, including if that change was within the same geographical area.

Additional links provide totals by Member for:

Travel costs

Stationery and postage costs

Details of catering functions and events hosted by Members

Repayments made against all claim types

Net totals, reflecting the repayments made against the original claims.

Searchable database of claims

Another link provides access to the searchable database of claims from 2008/09 onwards.

Communications Allowance scans relating to expenditure in 2008/09 are accessible via the link to the searchable database. IEP scans relating to expenditure in 2008/09 and 2009/10, along with Communications allowance scans for 2009/10, will be published on the searchable database later in the year.
